Beowulf
how does the translator's use of alliteration make this description of the underwater lair of grendels mother more effective?
Grendel's mother
Grendel's mother
"They live in secret places, windy
Cliffs, wolf-dens where water pours
From the rocks, then runs underground, where mist Steams like black clouds, and the groves of trees Growing C>U!. over their lake are all covered
With frozen spray, and wind down snakelike
Roots that reach as far as the water
And help keep it dark.
Are these the lines in question?
Yes
